   I shortened line power cord on pins 1-2 with piece of wire but no power on. I   
   checked with multimeter all pin values,   
   pins 20-21 was 5V, but all others were 0-0,1V so I guess PSU is broken. When I   
   after ten years in storage first time started my 8595 it powers on with some   
   checkpoint displays but it after few second went power off and never startet   
   again. PSU is Schrack    
   model EPO71119-E, input 200-20V 4.0A output 329W.   
   Is it difficult to check and repair or renew? Or must I look for spare part   
   CPU?
